Redditor Sarah Briody introduced her beau to Skyrim, who then used it to level up their relationship. He recently popped the question by placing the Amulet of Mara — the in-game item required to marry your character — around her neck.

“He gave me the amulet and while I recognized what it was — it didn’t really click as to WHAT it was,” Briody said. “I put it on and he started to smile from ear to ear. Then he said: ‘Is that an Amulet of Mara? I’m surprised someone like you isn’t spoken for.’”

“Then it finally registered that he was proposing! He got down on one knee and slipped the ring on my finger.”

Let their marriage be as engrossing and beautiful as Skyrim itself, and let any glitches along the way be patched up with minimal damage to their journey.

The tracks vary from classics, such as Pacman and Legend of Zelda, to more recent titles, such as Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim. Even Portal and Halo make an appearance.

Skyrim, meet Hyrule. Hyrule, this is Skyrim.

Maybe it won’t exactly be a marriage of these two very different video game worlds.

Riding into battle against a giant in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? Um, yes please!

I love The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. For all its little flaws and bugs and nuisances, it’s a meal I intend to keep nibbling on over time, stretching my Skyrim experience out as long as possible. Maybe 100 hours, maybe more. We’ll see.

But after seeing this video, my love for Skyrim feels slightly tainted.
